A manual for choosing appropriate statistical techniques

Which multivariate statistical technique we should use in what situation is a question that most students in a statistics or quantitative research method course usually ask. This book answers such a question in an easily understandable way, with very useful diagrams. The book then explains each technique using example problems familiar to social science major students. It also explains, step by step, how to interpret SPSS computer outputs. As a supplementary text for advanced statistics courses in the social sciences, this book is highly recommended.
